The second-generation pre-amplifier from KingRex is a logical extension of the success story of the award-winning preamp. Built around a high quality op-amp and the diamond buffer, so highly praised for its musicality, a current booster has been added to the final output of the amplifier stage to enhance drive-ability. A DC Servo circuit has also been implemented to minimise signal loss due to coupling capacitors.

The result is accurate and perfectly balanced signal amplification, free from colouration, yet highly adaptable.

A separate high performance power supply unit further guarantees interference-free performance and a jet-black noise floor. Panasonic FM electrolytic capacitors stand guard along critical paths, dedicated to extremely low ESR. Both the preamp and the PSU (power supply unit) are housed in all-aluminium chassis.

A special feature is the sliding door on top of the preamp opening up to phono stage settings: MC/MM with high/low gain and six preset resistive loads.

Boasting impressive full frequency range with THD as low as 0.0004% and dynamic range better than 108dB, the PREference will doubtless prove to be the preamp of choice for discerning audiophiles.
